Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo: "The xfs folks have been running into weird and very rare lockups for some time now. I didn't think this could have been from workqueue side because no one else was reporting it. This time, Eric had a kdump which we looked into and it turned out this actually was a workqueue bug and the bug has been there since the beginning of concurrency managed workqueue. A worker pool ensures forward progress of the workqueues associated with it by always having at least one worker reserved from executing work items. When the pool is under contention, the idle one tries to create more workers for the pool and if that doesn't succeed quickly enough, it calls the rescuers to the pool. This logic had a subtle race condition in an early exit path. When a worker invokes this manager function, the function may return %false indicating that the caller may proceed to executing work items either because another worker is already performing the role or conditions have changed and the pool is no longer under contention. The latter part depended on the assumption that whether more workers are necessary or not remains stable while the pool is locked; however, pool->nr_running (concurrency count) may change asynchronously and it getting bumped from zero asynchronously could send off the last idle worker to execute work items. The race window is fairly narrow, and, even when it gets triggered, the pool deadlocks iff if all work items get blocked on pending work items of the pool, which is highly unlikely but can be triggered by xfs. The patch removes the race window by removing the early exit path, which doesn't server any purpose anymore anyway" * 'for-3.19-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: fix subtle pool management issue which can stall whole worker_pool |
